LETTERS

Thank you Church dudes and dudettes for the Snuff It. Very
nice looking and solid publication. Just one thing, eliminate
your DAD A or any "art-fag" references and you will be ten
times scarier. I don’t remember if I sent you a copy of FUCK
but I am sending along a copy of #6. Keep up the splendid
work.

Yours truly,

Box 2217, Philadelphia, PA 19103

This Randall Phillips guy turns out to be quite a character.
He's an Aryan Social Darwinist with a ghoulish sense of
humor , and his magazine succeeded in shocking us. He favors
mass murder and eugenics as population control.
Unfortunately the Church of Euthanasia is opposed to
involuntary methods , so we can't endorse him. This is too
bad , because when he's not advocating torture , slavery ,
genocide , rape , racism , and cruelty to animals , he's got a lot
of things right. We especially liked the following excerpt:

I had a jar of pond water that I was to take samples
of and look at under a microscope. The first time I
looked at the pond water I saw the microscopic aliens
dancing around and having a good time. Each day
that I looked at the microscopic aliens there started to
be more of them. On the 4th day I noticed that the
water was getting darker. The cause of the darkness
was an accumulation of more microscopic aliens,
their shit and their waste. The microscopic aliens
weren’t partying as hard, but they were still going at
it. By the 7th day the water was very dark. I looked
under the microscope and all I saw was microscopic
waste. There were a few tiny aliens left gnawing on
the remains of the other microscopic dead aliens.
Forty years from now the earth is going to look like
my jar of pond water on the seventh day, unless we
do something about it.

Dear Chrissy,

I loved your paper and please enter me a subscription. I
enclose my check. I also am enclosing my picture to you. I
have fairly nice C cup tits. I’ve taken hormones for a while.

I loved your picture under the quote from Deuteronomy.
The old testament is little more than scare tactics to keep the
tribes of Israel replenished with soldiers and warriors to fight
other tribes.

The way I see it is we have these three different groups
in the U.S.A. and Latin America in a birth race. First, are
the Catholics mainly in Central America, the Mormons in
Utah and Idaho and the niggers [sic] who are being subsidized
by the government to have more voters who will vote in more
social programs.

The Government is broke, the large banks are buying
government T-bills, Treasury notes with fingers crossed. No
one has the balls to say subsidies are no longer, so we pretend
and pay the interest on these securities. The major banks
would rather buy these government notes than pump money

into private enterprise.

This revolution which will make Rwanda look like a
Sunday school picnic will start when the welfare recipients no
longer get their "check."

Believe me I rent to low income people, college students
and without student loans and government largesse, there
would be revolution. Probably starting on the East Coast, the
Western states will try to break away. There will be chaos
and anarchy. The government knows this hence the assault on
hand guns.

Of course, I’ve been doing my part to keep the population
down. Valerie, my girlfriend who is a dyke who hates men,
and myself have been castrating young men of breeding age.
We only have two notches so far. We’re using an elasterator.
A device that fits nicely over the scrotum of a calve or lamb.
It works well on humans too. Our first victim was drunk.
The device puts a strong rubber band over the scrotum, cuts
off the blood supply, gangrene sets in, and in about two weeks
the sac falls off and creates a eunuch.

The first two minutes there is pain, but after that the balls
turn blue and in 4 hours - 6 hours, gangrene is present and
they don’t dare remove it.

Our first victim slept through the whole thing so it
couldn’t have been that bad. He rushed himself to the
emergency room and they castrated him on the spot.

The second victim we met in the forest, hand-cuffed him
to a tree, and he howled, screamed. In Idaho there are
thousands of acres of virgin forest. We left a note for the
forest rangers giving his location. This did not make the
papers so it is still under investigation. In both cases we got
the victim’s address from his driver’s license and sent him a
tauntingly sympathetic card (so don’t mention this).

I wish I could sterilize 10% of the young men of breeding
age and turn them loose on the fertile women like sterile fruit
flies.

It’s the duty of every drag queen, T.S., T.V. and
crossdresser to get a straight boyfriend and keep him away
from girls of breeding age.

Picking up men in gay bars doesn’t do it. We should pick
up men in straight bars. Gays fraternizing with gays does
nothing to curb the population.

Anyway you probably think I’m nuts but we will possibly
send a picture of our next eunuch before and during his
ordeal.

I was hopeful AIDS would do its job and in Africa it’s
doing O.K. and in Thailand but not here.

We should take $1000 out of everyone’s subsidy and pay
bounties to people who will become sterile.

Anyway, if you’re out here look me up. Valerie has
always wanted to be a man and I’ve always wanted to be a
woman so we get along good.

Bob. B.

Please , remind us to stay the hell away from Idaho! And we
thought things were getting wild down here in Boston. We
hate to keep repeating ourselves , but the church supports
voluntary methods. For you folks out there in the woods, that
means no going around cutting off people's balls! You're
quite right about transgenderism being a good method of
population control. The police are your friends! Go down to
the station and introduce yourself.

Oh how fabulously arsty and shocking! What radical refusal
of conventional societal constraints! The fact that you still
exist is proof of your conceptual bankruptcy. Put your
shotgun where your mouth is or shut the fuck up you
Somerville BARNIES.

No offense,

O. Nenslo, professional art-fag hater

We sure are getting a lot of strange mail lately. For those of
you who aren't from Somerville, "barnie" is a term employed
by the local lifers for anyone who didn 't grow up around here
or doesn't belong. It's the exact opposite of a "townie.”
Townies often have short hair, drive muscle cars or pickup
trucks with Marine Corps stickers, and have gum-chewing
girlfriends with big hair and lots of gold jewelry. Students are
barnies by definition, as are most artists, musicians, queers
and other free-thinkers. In any case, the fact that you still
exist is proof that you should join the Church. No offense
taken.

Dear Snuff It,

Firstly, lemmings do not commit mass suicide. This is a
hoax apparently created by the Walt Disney company during
the 1950’s. (I’m not kidding.)

This being the case, you need a new mascot. My
suggestion is Dr. Edward Teller, "Father of the H-Bomb."
This moron sold Ronald Reagan on the idea of the space based
anti-missile system. What Dr. Teller neglected to do was

notice the obvious: making
obsolete one weapon, the
Intercontinental Ballistic
Missile (ICBM), does not
end the economic, social
and political forces which
lead to large scale
organized warfare. The
first nuke was delivered by
a B-29 bomber, which an
anti-missile system could not touch. Does Dr. Teller seriously
believe that everyone in the world has forgotten to how to
drop bombs out of airplanes? Of course not. He just wants
to win a large-scale nuclear war. Unfortunately, once you set
fire to 500 major urban areas, you have a nuclear winter and
all human life in the northern hemisphere dies.

Perhaps Dr. Teller’s motto is "Kill the Planet, Save My
Ideology."

X.S. Despot

2225 Montego Dr., Lansing, MI 48912

Very good! We like the new motto, it's catchy. My personal
favorite Star Wars story is the one about Brilliant Pebbles. It
turns out the code name was completely literal! Good old
uncle Ron was going to fill the stratosphere with small rocks.
It really does a number on the Evil Empire's satellites.
Unfortunately it also makes it impossible to ever launch the
space shuttle again, so NASA finally put a stop to it. Keep us
abreast of Dr. Teller's adventures, though in the meantime
we’ll stick with our mascot:

lemming, rodent related to the mouse. The common
or brown lemming (genus Lemmus) inhabits arctic
regions of both hemispheres. The long fur is
brownish, grayish, or black throughout the year. In
Scandinavia particularly, the lemmings undertake
mass migrations during periods of overpopulation and
food scarcity, swarming over land and through water,
deterred by nothing, and eating vegetation on the
way. If they reach the sea before the migratory urge
subsides, they swim out until they drown.

The Illustrated Columbia Encyclopedia, 1935

Sound somehow vaguely familiar? That 'll be you in ten years.
Join the church now, because later you'll be too busy
drowning.

Dear Editor,

Are we being denied the right to die? Why is it so wrong
to help another person end his or her misery?

Dr. Jack Kevorkian is referred to as Dr. Death, but he
describes his methods as humane and painless. In Washington
state people will be voting on an initiative to legalize suicide
in cases where the patient has six months or less to live. If
this is passed, Washington will be the first state to legalize
euthanasia. The truth is, having a terminal disease is agony.
One can fight only so long.

This is the point. To people who are suffering,
Kevorkian is a savior.

Beth Heyde, Plymouth, MA

Amen to that, and soon to be Saint Kevorkian! The man is an
inspiration to us all. Suicide should be as easy as getting your
teeth cleaned, and not just for the terminally ill. Everyone
has the right to die painlessly, whenever they want. Lobby
your Congressman! More money for euthanasia! Why spend
it on the military when people need to die right here at home?

Okay, on all this Ejaculation stuff: Wouldn’t the world simply
be a better place if more men learned to jack off, and did this
regularly instead of having sex with women (if I follow your
argument)? Therefore, since masturbation is not procreation,
masturbation should be viewed as an heroic act by the Church,
should it not? I hereby declare myself a Hero, then, for
masturbating since age 13, and using this as my sexual outlet,
rather than going out of my way to have sex with women for
the past 8 years. Actually, perhaps masturbation needs a
better overall image in society at large. It’s an effective
method of curbing sexual drive, and therefore prevents one
from having sex with others when done often enough, thusly
slowing down the population growth rate, and the spread of
communicable diseases. Any spoo that lands outside of a
human reproductive system is heroic spoo. More people
should therefore partake of oral and anal sex exclusively, if
they insist upon having a partner.

Colin S. Reid

We love it! You 're a hero! Aim for the chin!

A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to man , nor
shall a man wear a woman’s garment; for whoever does these
things is an abomination to the lord. (Deuteronomy 22:5)

ASK CHRISSY

Dear Chrissy,

How can I join the Church of Euthanasia? Do I have to kill
myself first? What are the rules?

-Anxious in Albany

Dear Anxious,

Joining the Church is EASY! Just wrap ten dollars in a piece
of paper, pop it in an envelope and send it to:

C.O.E., Box 261, Somerville, MA 02143

Of course you don’t have to kill yourself! If you really want
to, though, wait until AFTER you’ve joined the church! That
way, you automatically become a saint, without any additional
paperwork. The church has only one commandment, and it is:

"Thou shalt not procreate."

This means NO BREEDING! Procreation is grounds for
immediate excommunication. Some related guidelines for
good living follow:

1. Suicide is optional, but encouraged.

2. Abortion may be required to avoid procreation.

3. Cannibalism is mandatory if you insist on eating flesh.

4. Sodomy is optional, but strongly encouraged.

Note that cannibalism is limited to
consumption of those ALREADY
DEAD. There is currently no
shortage. Killing people for food is
strictly prohibited, no matter how
hungry you are. Also note that
contrary to popular belief, sodomy
is defined as any sexual act not
intended for procreation. Fellatio,
cunnilingus, and anal sex are all
forms of sodomy and are still illegal
in many states. Masturbation may
or may not be sodomy; the jury’s
still out on that, but it’s okay with
us, especially if you kill yourself
while doing it.

Dear Chrissy,

I’d like to kill myself, but I’m not
sure how. Does it matter which
way I do it? Can you come down
here and help me with this? Do I
have to do everything myself?

-Overwhelmed in Orlando

Dear Overwhelmed,

Technically speaking, it doesn’t matter how you do it, though
some methods are considerably more sure, painless, and neat
than others. Try to be considerate of your friends and family
who will discover you afterwards. They’re STILL finding bits
of Kurt Cobain’s head around the house. Much as I would
like to, I can’t actually provide any physical assistance; that
remains illegal in both of our states. What I can do is urge
you to find a copy of Derek Humphry’s book Final Exit . He
provides a wealth of handy data including contacts and drug
dosages. I’ll summarize some of his most interesting
recommendations:

1. Don’t do anything that will endanger anyone else,
including driving into on-coming traffic or railway trains,
jumping in front of cars, mixing household chemicals to make
poison gas, etc.

2. Don’t take cyanide unless you’re a chemist. You’ll be
very sorry if you accidentally ingest hydrogen cyanide (HCN)
instead of potassium cyanide (KCN).

3. Never mind what you saw in Coming Home . Injecting
yourself with a syringe full of air is much more likely to cause
brain damage and paralysis than death.

4. Getting into the bathtub with your hair-dryer might not
work. It depends on your fuses, and worse, someone else
might get electrocuted trying to save you.

5. Don’t hang yourself without reading Naked Lunch first.
It can be quite messy and disagreeable for whoever has to cut
you down. I know it looked easy in Billy Budd , but that was
a MOVIE. The British Navy also used very LONG ropes to
break the neck instantly.

6. Drowning has good points, and the colder the water, the
faster it goes. Avoid being rescued, and keep in mind that
your body might turn up somewhat chewed.

7. Freezing is even better, and quite painless. Just head for

the mountains (no, this isn’t a beer
advertisement) late in the day, get
yourself above the freezing line, and
have a seat. Be sure to wear light
(or no) clothing, and take public
transport so the Rangers don’t find
your car and look for you.

8. The official Hemlock Society
approved method of "self-
deliverance" is a combination of
taking tranquilizers and putting a
plastic bag over your head. Even if
the dose isn’t lethal, you asphyxiate
while you’re snoozing. They even
suggest a trial run! The bag should
be big enough so that you start out
with some air and don’t freak out
right away. Use rubber bands to
make the bag fit snugly. Apparently
it’s easier if you open the bag, put
the rubber bands on, and then slide
the whole thing onto your head like
a hat. Assuming you have access to
tranquilizers, the only tricky part is
deciding whether to use a clear or
opaque bag. There’s one to
ponder...

THE MEMORY HOLE

Who controls the past, controls the future.

Who controls the present, controls the past.

-George Orwell, 1984

If George Orwell were alive today, he would be
astounded, but not by the fact that so many of his predictions
came true. The fact that there is at least one television for
every person in the United States would not surprise him, of
course. The presence of televisions in airports, rail and bus
terminals, and even subway stations would also be expected.
The lack of two-way interactive television would puzzle him,
though he might correctly assume that the technology was
being developed. What would really stump him is the total
absence of coercion. "Where are the thought police?" he
would ask, confused. Nothing could possibly prepare Orwell
for the enthusiasm with which Americans embrace Big
Brother. Truncheons are rarely required, and sudden
disappearances are almost unheard of. Complete, voluntary
conformity to the ideals displayed on television is observed.
Instead of Double-Think, No-Think. Instead of the Ministry
of Truth, a corporate media system. Instead of the Party, a
liberal elite who actually believe that they are free. Freedom
is American, and Americans are truly free, in a limited sense,
free to consume. Human rights are reduced to freedom of
choice. McDonald’s and Burger King, Nirvana and Pearl
Jam, Democrats and Republicans, the choices are all without
meaning.

Why did the Soviet empire fail, while the American
empire survives? Because mind control under freedom is
more efficient! There’s no need to waste money torturing
dissidents. Fears of nakedness and excrement are instilled
during infancy, and are soon followed by strict gender roles.
The boys practice competition, aggression, and conquest,
while the girls wear dresses and learn to play house with dolls.
The schools teach that what is unmeasurable does not exist.
Fear of the unknown becomes fear of life, and death. The
student is encouraged to regard those beneath him with
contempt, and those above him with envy; success is measured
in terms of winners and losers. Sophisticated advertising
carefully reinforces the desired belief system. "The one who
dies with the most toys wins," reads a popular bumper sticker.
So long as the flow of merchandise is uninterrupted, law and
order prevail. In Orwell’s world, dissent led to Room 101.
In America, dissent is merely ignored, or sold, if it’s popular.

One of Orwell’s great maxims was that control of the
present enables control of the past, which in turn controls the
future. But here there is no need for armies of bureaucrats
revising old newspapers, adapting history to the changing
party line. In America, the present is controlled by reducing
the attention span. The invention of television wasn’t enough
by itself. It was the introduction of the hand-held remote that
finished the job. Before the seventies, people had to get up
from their chairs to change the channel. Laziness was an
extremely powerful deterrent. People might watch the same
channel for an hour, or more! In the age of remote control,
concentration drops steadily. The attention span of the
average adult now approaches thirty seconds, by coincidence
the duration of a typical advertisement. Among teenagers and
children, attention spans reach single digits, as they become
synchronized to the pulsating hypnosis of MTV. When the

attention span finally reaches zero, there is no past, and no
future, only the endless, instantaneous gratification of the
present.

Ancient military strategy says "divide and conquer."
Where have humans been more completely divided than in
America? Land once occupied by the same tribes for
thousands of years is paved over, to become cities and
sprawling suburbs. How many of the inhabitants will know
their neighbors? Citizenship becomes a series of numbers in
computer systems. Deaths and births are recorded, and taxes
paid, by mail. Leaders are selected anonymously, in tiny
booths, from lists of names. How many citizens know their
leaders personally, or have even met them? How can a
society that never interacts be expected to select its leaders?
Youth is worshipped, and the elders, once the most respected
members of society, are banished to "nursing homes." They
die miserable deaths of loneliness and boredom, abandoned by
their "families." Wisdom cannot survive where there is no
one to remember it. In the ultimate triumph of individualism,
even the family is atomized. Single mothers are
commonplace, and children are entrusted to institutions at the
earliest possible age. Americans become a nation of orphans,
with no allegiance to anything but themselves. Complete
alienation makes them ruthless, and thirsty for power.
"Everybody wants to rule the world," goes the popular song.

The fourth Key of the Tarot is Heh, The Emperor. He
signifies reason, and sight. In the age of reason, technology
eliminates the senses, one by one, leaving only sight, the most
detached, impersonal, "objective" sense. Smells are
eliminated with deodorants and climate control. Taste and
touch turn into commodities, to be marketed. The universal
acceptance of the telephone substitutes the disembodied voice
for physical presence. The advent of computers completes the
sterilization: communication is reduced to words on a

flickering screen. To avoid misunderstandings, it becomes
necessary to introduce a system for representing sarcasm on
computer networks, using combinations of punctuation known
as "smileys." In the words of computer guru Paul Hoffman,
"the Internet offers a great deal of anonymity, but weakens the
social bond between the people using it." Welcome to the
so-called "cyberfuture."

Orwell’s two-way telescreens become widely available,
hooked up through telephone lines to every imaginable service.
Americans no longer have to leave their living rooms, let
alone their houses. Every conceivable need is satisfied, at the
click of a mouse. Viewers are able to project themselves into
"virtual reality" and interact with their entertainment
programming. Elaborate games promote a state of permanent
masturbation, in which selfishness, domination, and violence
have no consequences. For a species without a past, there can
be no consequences, no sense of responsibility. Without
continuity, and rootedness, the future makes no sense.
Without hope, humans become like a swarm of locusts,
scouring the earth from their living rooms, destroying their
host. The native Americans taught that the earth does not
belong to man, man belongs to the earth. Their truths die
with them, and the world spins out of balance.

To the future or to the past, to a time when men are different
from one another and do not live alone—to a time when truth
exists and what is done cannot be undone: From the age of
uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big
Brother. ..greetings!

THE WATER OF LIFE

The following is adapted from the pamphlet " Urine-Therapy:
It May Save Your Life ." by Dr. Beatrice Bartnett.

liver detoxifies the blood and excretes the toxins into the
colon. The kidneys balance the blood’s vital substances and
water level. In short, urine is simply filtered blood. It
contains in its fresh condition, only those chemicals and
compounds of the blood in circulation in each of us.

Urine therapy is a very
ancient and drugless form of
intrinsic medicine. Its
application is so simple that it
can be done anywhere and at
any time. Urine has been used
as a healing agent in practically
all civilizations and cultures. It
seemingly dies, only to reappear
again time after time. Often it
is called the Water of Life,
Living Water Within or simply
Life Elixir. In many religions
it is believed that this water will
enhance one’s spiritual growth
and even give one everlasting
life.

The kidney’s major
function is to balance all the
elements in your blood. It
takes all excess amounts of vital
substances out of the blood as
well as excess amounts of
water. The water and these
vital substances then form
urine.

Urine is filled with vital
elements. It is not waste. The

CAPTAIN VILE embraces well-known urine drinker Henry Kissinger, just
after presenting him with the coveted GOLDEN NOOSE award for his
outstanding contributions to world peace.

The morning urine is the richest and best urine
to drink. This is partially due to the greater level of
hormonal secretion that takes place in the late night
hours when the body is totally relaxed and repairing
itself.

Fortunately, Urine-Therapy is very simple in its
application. Urine-Therapy consists of two basic
parts: the internal application and the external
application. Both parts complement each other and
are necessary for best results. There are many
different ways of using urine. After the initial
experience one will find his or her own personal
way of application. Because urine is produced to
one’s needs, only your urine should be taken for
internal use.

Now, a good way to undo conditioned behavior
with regard to perception of urine is to rinse, gargle
and swish with fresh urine. The flavor,
consistency, and feeling of the experience will
become familiar after a while, and the disgust to
your own rich bodily fluids will be a thing of the
past. Rubbing urine into the body (fresh or stale) is
also a wonderful way to become accustomed to your
living water.

If the idea of drinking one’s own water is still
a problem, pour a few ounces into the morning
juice. This solution should be drunk as soon as
possible, for urine breaks down very rapidly. Try

to graduate from drinking the dilution to drinking it straight.
Some people prefer to take it straight, followed by a "chaser"
of pure water or some other healthy liquid.

Saying "thank you" to your body just before drinking
urine will help you to realize the value of this golden liquid.
Your body produced it for you. Celebrate life and put the
urine into a beautiful wine glass. After all, it is the most
valuable water on earth.

The Coldest Air

Yawns between thrusts

Behind the wall of trust

Internal Application:

1. Drinking. The mid stream of the first morning urine is
taken. Begin with two-three ounces and increase it to your
personal, comfortable level.

2. Fasts. Fasts with urine and water are practiced for one or
more days. J.W.Armstrong, a renowned urine therapist from
England, lets his patients fast for up to 45 days. Fasts are
only recommend under trained, medical supervision.

3. Enemas. The easiest way to take an enema is with a
syringe containing two-three ounces of urine. The urine is
kept in the colon for as long as possible.

4. Gargle. Urine is kept in the mouth 20-30 minutes, or as
long as possible, for gum problems and other lesions of the
mouth and tongue.

5. Douche. For any vaginal discomfort or cleansing, a
solution of Golden Seal and urine will give comfort and
healing.

6. Eye and ear drops. Any pain, burning and tiredness in the
eyes may get relief with a few drops of urine placed into the
eyes. The ears also benefit greatly if receiving a few urine
drops for ear pain and discomfort.

7. Urine sniffing. This is the most effective way of treatment
for any sinus congestion and upper respiratory problems.

External Application:

1. Rubbings. Urine is massaged into the body. Rubbings are
usually done for any kind of skin lesions from a simple rash
to eczema and cancer. The rubbings may last from 20
minutes to one hour in duration.

2. Foot Baths. Very effective for athlete’s foot or any skin
problem on the feet.

Bereft of a cross
And chosen by the slain
He can’t forgive a flesh-less body
Scavenging for blame

The yawning gulf
Between an orphan and an heir
Leaves the stray boys hovering
In the coldest air

Fear is the ghost
A boast between their legs
Jagged, waving hands
Reach them from the dregs

They’re pumping it up in the garden of celibates
Love like barley bristling in the heat
Then a cold blast of laughter pours from a virgin
And thick, bulky boys recoil in defeat

They grope to anoint
The shadow-beast between them
But the coarse meal they share
Will never sustain them

The clod of a cock-lover
Mutters angrily
As desire exhorts
A hidden litany

He sings before
The augurs of doom
And cries out for covering
When mercy leaves the room

HATE TO SAY WE TOLD YOU SO, BUT...

Report sees rising population
leading to global food shortage

WASHINGTON - Massive food shortages will develop
over the next 40 years as a population explosion outstrips the
world’s food supply, researchers reported yesterday.

"Science and technology can no longer ensure a better
future unless population growth slows quickly," said a report
compiled by the environmental research institute Worldwatch.
"Food supply is the most immediate constraint on the Earth’s
population carrying capacity."

Projections of current trends indicate the
world’s population could expand from today’s
5.5 billion [try 5.7 billion. -Ed.] and reach 10
billion to 14 billion by 2050. The biggest
increases are expected in some of the poorest
areas, such as Africa and southern Asia.

Worldwatch’s Full House report, released
yesterday, predicted population at 8.9 billion by
2030. [more like 8 billion by 2020, but close
enough. -Ed.]

At that level, the projected yearly grain
supply will amount to 528 pounds per person,
the report said. That is a quarter of what the
average American now uses and just 20 percent above
consumption in India, one of the worlds poorest countries.

The UN Population fund, responsible for family planning,
unveiled a proposal in April to try to stabilize world
population at 7.8 billion by 2050.

But food supplies will be too short to feed the world even
if that goal is reached, said Lester R. Brown, co-author of the
Worldwatch study, which was prepared in anticipation of next
month’s UN Population Conference in Cairo. The institute
told of failed attempts to increase rice production and fish
catches - illustrating that new technology cannot be counted
on for breakthroughs.

After decades of steady growth, world farm production
will no longer be able to keep up with the increasing demand,
the study predicted.

The Washington-based Institute’s pessimistic forecast on
the limits of food supply is not shared by world farm bodies,
[i.e. transnational corporations, big surprise! -Ed.]

Brown dismissed their projections as based only on past
trends, and not applicable in the future.

They failed to take into account factors such as the loss
of cropland to urbanization or reports that increased use of
fertilizer no longer brings much more production, he added.

Worldwatch said grain production increased from 631
million tons in 1950 to 1.6 billion tons in 1984, or 3 percent
a year. Growth in the last decade was just 1 percent a year,
and Worldwatch predicted it would continue to slow, with
production leveling off at 2.1 billion tons in 2030. [The
population is increasing by L6 percent a year! Hello? -Ed.]

World’s seas are fished to
the limit, study finds

WASHINGTON - The oceans have been fished nearly to
the limits, after decades of fishermen using bigger boats and

more advanced hunting technologies, according to a report
released yesterday.

"Although worldwide environmental degradation of the
oceans contribute to the decline of marine life, overfishing is
the primary cause of dwindling fish populations," said the
report, which was issued by the nonprofit Worldwatch
Institute. A 5 percent decline in the worldwide catch since
1989 is due largely to more people fishing in large-scale,
industrial operations, often in waters that are becoming more
polluted, the report said.

Meanwhile, world population is growing at 1.6 percent
annually, equivalent to the population of Mexico being added
to the world each year, the report said.

"This ... has already caused armed
confrontations between fishing nations, gunfire
between fishers and hunger in the developing
world," said Peter Weber, author of the report,
"Net Loss: Fish, Jobs and the Marine
Environment."

The total catch has shrunk by more than 30
percent in four of the hardest-hit areas - the
Pacific’s east-central region and the Atlantic’s
northwest, west-central and southeast sectors.

2 billion more Third World
people predicted by 2030

WASHINGTON - By the year 2030, the world will have
nearly 3 billion more people than now, [actually 3.6 billion. -
Ed.] 2 billion of them in countries where the average person
earns less than $2 a day, the World Bank predicts in its latest
report.

It estimates that the global figure will reach
8,474,017,000, compared with 5,692,210,000 in 1995.

People will live longer, too. The average African baby
born today can expect to live to age 54; one bom in 2030 in
Africa should have 63 years ahead of it. [Not bloody likely!
-Ed.]

By 2030, the bank says, Africa will grow from 720
million to 1.6 billion.

"Who will feed and house these people?" the bank
president, Lewis T. Preston, asked in a statement. The bank
is the largest source of aid loans to the Third World, many of
them for houses, schools and public services.

-excerpted from AP, August 4

Bullshit! The World Bank spent the last twenty years
destroying sustainable agriculture all over the world.
Countries that can barely feed themselves are forced to grow
export crops and import our manufactured crap in return. The
"loans" go straight into the pockets of the local CIA-trained
dictators so that giant corporations can come in and buy up all
the land. The " peasants " get kicked off the land they've lived
on for generations, but that's okay because they make good
slave labor. American livestock get fat on imported grain
while the "third world" starves. Delicious hamburger! Pass
the ketchup! The World Bank also arranges for toxic heavy
industries to relocate to places where there aren't any
environmental laws. Isn't that nice? Fuck the World Bank!
They suck!

Senate OK’s $12.5b in funds
for schools, antigay plan

WASHINGTON - The Senate adopted a $12.5
billion school funding bill yesterday, but an antigay
provision almost guarantees a continuing debate before
the legislation becomes law.

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act was
approved, 94-6, after almost three days of sometimes
contentious debate that saw inclusion of an amendment
that would cut federal funds to school districts that teach
acceptance of homosexuality.

"This legislation represents another main part of our
efforts in this Congress to improve American
education," Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, chairman of the
Senate Labor and Human Resources Committee, said
after the vote.

Schools that distribute instructional materials or
offer counseling services portraying homosexuality as an
acceptable lifestyle or that refer students to gay
organizations for counseling could lose their federal
funds under the provision.

-excerpted from AP, August 3

This kind of shit makes me sick to my stomach. The
population is increasing by a million people every four
days and these morons want to close down schools that
help queers. People wonder why I support human
extinction. We should worship queers! At least they
don't reproduce! Hello? Senator Kennedy? SAVE THE
PLANET! KILL YOURSELF!

"The Being" sighted on the Boston Common

In case you weren’t there, September 10 was Population
Awareness Day on the Boston Common. A variety of
"politically correct" organizations including Zero Population
Growth, the Seirra Club, Cleanwater Action, and Mass Choice
were sitting at tables around the fountain near Park Street
quietly minding their own business, when who should show up
but the Church of Euthanasia! Rev. Chris Korda led the way
in a very nice flower print number, carrying a stick topped by
a bloody carnivorous baby. She was followed by a dozen
church members, including such notables as Noise editor
T-Max, clad in black "Save The Planet Kill Yourself" T-shirts
and swinging smoking incense stenchers. The alien
intelligence known only as "The Being" also made a rare
appearance for this gala event. It moved quite slowly,
apparently unused to Earth’s gravity, and was shielded from
harmful negative energy by a 100 foot long strip of white
fabric carried by church members. The organizers stood
transfixed in horror as the group circled the fountain twice,
chanting and rolling a giant RU-486 pill. The group then
formed a protective circle around "The Being," while Rev.
Korda and Pastor Scott engaged in a simultaneous reading of
population-related facts, including "Production of excrement
by U.S. human population: 12,000 pounds per second!
Production of excrement by U.S. livestock: 250,000 pounds
per second!" The crowd reacted with a mixture of confusion
and rage, and a climax was reached when the group, in an
effort to get their point across, began chanting "Kill the
planet! Save yourself!" After an hour or so, the organizers
forced Park Ranger Doherty to politely move the Church
elsewhere. None of the organizers we interviewed would
admit to kicking the church out, though Mark Rogers of ZPG
was quoted as saying "I was disgusted with it. After some
time...people there asked them leave."

INTERVIEW WITH SEBASTIAN

The following interview was recently conducted by Pastor Scott
with Sebastian, an active member of the Church of
Euthanasia's Youth Outreach Program (YOG).

PS: Sebastian, just how did you become a member of the
Church of Euthanasia?

Sebastian: I was sitting at the epicenter of the Zero

Population Growth Rally on the Boston Common. It was dull.
I was leaning against the fountain when I saw these two guys
walk by with tee-shirts that read "Save the Planet. Kill

Yourself." On the back
it read "Church of
Euthanasia. Suicide,
Abortion, Cannibalism,
Sodomy." It was the
first and only thing I saw
at the rally that day that
made any sense. I
yelled out, "Hey, you
guys with the Church of
Euthanasia?" It was you
and Pastor Kim, but it
was Pastor Kim that
smiled in that
overzealous way of his,
you know, and said,
"follow us." So I did.
It was cool.

PS: So, you felt an

immediate kinship with
the church?

Sebastian: Oh, yeah. I

joined up right away.

Within a half an hour

after that I was walking

along side the rest of the

„ church members when

PHOTO: C. BODOCK

we crashed the rally, with this ten
foot tall alien, swinging incense
burners smoking up this terrific
haze, a fifty pound RU-486 pill
made out of a cable spool, and
this hundred-foot long banner
which said absolutely nothing. It
didn’t have to. The point must
have been clear to everyone there:
the organizers, the participants,
the rangers. Even the tourists
were snapping photos. I think it
was the director of the rally that
made the loudest snap. He looked
like he was having some kind of
seizure. It was cool.

PS: What do you do when you’re
not involved in Church functions?

Sebastian: The night before I
met you guys I fell asleep down at
the waterfront after drinking a
bottle of vodka. I couldn’t feel
my right arm after that. It was
totally numb for maybe 24 hours.

When I first met you guys I was
reading the Satanic Bible.

PS: So, how has the Church of
Euthanasia changed your life?

Sebastian: That’s the best part.

It hasn’t. When I need money I
usually head down to the armory
across from Park Plaza. Old guys
drive up in white Coup de Villes.

Actually the car doesn’t make that
much of a difference. The larger
cars just mean we have more
room, if we don’t go to a motel
room. They’re not going to take
me back to their homes. These
guys have families. The younger guys get their action out of
the bars. But tonight I’m going to spend some time with my
boyfriend and some cocaine. It’ll be cool.

PS: So you’re the

troubled youth we’ve
heard so much about?
Sebastian: Who?

Who’s heard about me?
PS: Time, Newsweek,
Mike Barnicle.
Sebastian: Oh yeah,

that’s me, I am
America’s troubled
youth. I like the Church
because it’s helped me to
clarify my own beliefs.
I don’t like legalistic or
dogmatic religious
hierarchies. The
primary dictate of the
satanic lifestyle is do
what thou wilt. That’s
cool. It’s got this
certain appeal for me. I

plan to die by the time I’m
twenty. I’m going to take
myself out on Hemlock and
morphine. With the right mix
it’s going to be the Hemlock
that’ll kill me, and not the
morphine. I want to be lucid all
the way through. I want to see
what I’m getting into, and I
want it to be too late to turn
around when I do. It’ll be cool.
PS: So how do you plan to
spend your life until your death?
Sebastian: The Socratic

cocktail is only the final act.
I’m killing myself now. I have
no possessions that I couldn’t
give away in a heartbeat. I’m
indulging in total excess. The
spiritual waters are poisoned,
and I’m drinking freely. So,
I’m expending myself while the
world gets eaten. I’d rather be
in the street eating human flesh
than devouring the continents
from my living room. I prefer
direct experience. So, I feel
pretty good about my own
death. If I lived an extra ten
years, I’d probably lose faith
and end up dying with the
planet, mourning everyone’s
death including my own. Too
bad I have to miss it; mass-
extinction of humans, that’ll be
cool.

PS: You seem pretty convinced
that the world is going downhill.
Sebastian: I don’t have to be.

I used to just show up at funerals. I’ve probably been to a
hundred. I just mingle in with the crowd and the family
members. A lot of times I get the feeling that the people there
feel guilty for how
they treated the guest
of honor. When I go
on the endangered
species list it’ll be the
same way. It’ll be
cool.

PS: What’s your

favorite movie?

Sebastian: Harold

and Maud.

PS: I had a feeling.

You seem very
articulate. How old
are you?

Sebastian: Fourteen.

PS: Do you shave

yet?

Sebastian: No, not

yet. Shaving will be
cool.

DADA ON THE INTERNET

On Saturday, September 10, the Church of Euthanasia sent out
17,553 Save The Planet Kill Yourself e-mail messages on the
Internet. Individuals around the world were exposed to pure
Dada. Many of them joined the church immediately. During
the following week, controversy raged on the Internet. Issue
HI of Snuff It was widely disseminated, and on Sunday the
18th, the church’s first e-sermon was delivered.

Greetings, and welcome to the Church of Euthanasia.
Hopefully almost all of you have received issue number one
of our journal by now. I am sure that many questions still
remain, and I’ll try to address the most popular ones, which
are how, and why.

How did we find you? A detailed explanation would not
be appropriate here, but suffice it to say that all of you have
posted to one or more of the same newsgroups over the last
month or so. These newsgroups were carefully chosen for
their degree of intersection with the core principles of the
church. We knew that many would react negatively to our
methods, but felt this was outweighed by the need to make a
widespread, immediate impact.

Why did we do this? As many
of you are no doubt aware, the
population summit concluded this
week in Cairo. If you have been
following it in the papers, you will
know that almost nothing of any
substance was accomplished. Most
of the conference was devoted to an
acrimonious battle with the new
Vatican-Muslim alliance over
whether the various charters that
were signed could contain the words
"abortion" and "contraception."

Meanwhile, entire nations are starving to death, while
Americans watch it on television. Almost every day for the
last month there has been at least one article in the Boston
Globe about overpopulation. Many of them have stated
clearly that the population is expected to double in twenty
years. This news might as well be on the sports page; the
spectacle continues without interruption.

The turbines still spin, the oil is still sucked out of the
earth, the cars and trucks still poison the air. The consumers
still stand in line in supermarkets to buy food wrapped in
plastic. The ideals displayed on American television still
dominate the daily lives of billions of human beings. What
will man do when even the bottled water is poisonous? What
will he do when the air makes him sick, and the sun is so
strong he can’t go outside anymore?

The planet is a living being, and quite capable of
self-defense. If the two-leggeds cannot control their numbers,
she will do it for them, and her measures will be harsh. Read
the Hopi prophecies. Many of them have already come true.
Now is the time of "koyaanisqatsi," or "life out of balance."

The Internet is the backbone of the so-called
"cyberculture," an impossible vision of the future in which
men "rule" the Earth through machines. It is for this reason
most of all that we felt it so important to target the Internet.
Messages were delivered to the Whitehouse, to heads of
corporations, to high-ranking members of the military, to
scientists, professors, and just regular folks. Needless to say,

many of the recipients are upset. This is a regrettable, but
necessary consequence of any Dada action.

Dada turns people upside down, by temporarily destroying
one or more of their everyday assumptions. The suspension
of "normal" assumptions allows messages that would
ordinarily be screened out to penetrate, even if only for a
short time. The method is unpleasant, but highly effective
when dealing with strong indoctrination such as that provided
by television programming, or university education, for
example. Internet users are by in large highly educated
members of the elite, and therefore very likely to be
indoctrinated.

The Internet is far more than a communication system, a
web of wires and computers: the Internet is a set of
assumptions, based on the specific world-view of its creators.
Who are these creators, and what is their world-view? The
Internet depends directly on the institutions of the consumer
culture, including the federal government, the military, and the
universities and corporations that cooperate with them. Let us
not forget that the Internet has its roots in ARPAnet (the
Department of "Defense") and NSFnet (the National "Science"
Foundation). The Defenders of Science. Why are they

defending science? Who are they
defending it from?

They are defending it from us,
my friends, from the Church of
Euthanasia and many other groups
like us who oppose their senseless
war with our Mother the Earth.
Their schools teach that what cannot
be measured, does not exist. This is
Empiricism, the foundation of the
Spectacle, the principle that Socrates
died for. Their leaders say that
everyone is entitled to as much as
they want, of whatever they want, if they have the money to
buy it. This is the American Way, of life and liberty and the
pursuit of happiness for the violent and ruthless. Their elites
are determined to fight to the bitter end for their world-view.
Their God is Moloch, who eats his children, leaving only
filth, solitude, and ugliness. In the words of the Cree People:

Only after the last tree has been cut down,

Only after the last river has been poisoned,

Only after the last fish has been caught,

Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

Let us pray.

Spirits of the four directions, East, South, West, and North,
Powers of the Elements, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth,

Wheel of the seasons, Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter,

Be here now, as we invoke this sacred space,

And for a moment in time, free ourselves from all limitations,
From all delusions of separateness.

Be here now, and help us, to draw our spirits down
From the lonely flights of the ego, into our bodies,

And let us be filled with the joy of your limitless light,
Beyond the bounds of time,

Where night and day,

Birth and death,

Joy and sorrow,

Meet as one.

CONFESSIONS OF A HERETIC

Are you really serious? Kill
ourselves and our children and each
other in order to reduce the
population? So that WHO can
remain to enjoy the Earth, the only
life given to us? Perhaps I am
selfish, but I do not want to die until
I really HAVE to. I kind of enjoy
being alive, you know? If I am
correct, then if I kill myself, then I
will be dead, forever. I think your
approach to the overpopulation
problem is sick and evil. Did you
ever think that maybe slowing down the rate at which we
multiply might help? This is, statistically speaking, happening
in North America right now. Due to the evils of Economy,
most people can’t afford to have more than one or two
children. Fifty years ago, their parents were having four
children. Fifty years before that, eight to ten children. These
days most people don’t even wish to reproduce. Nothing
wrong with that. Perhaps it would be a good idea to force
people to sterilize themselves after they have their second
child. 2 people have 2 children, later on, the net result is
Zero Growth. This might even work or something, and it is
much less grim than what you propose. Where in the world
is the highest population growth rate? Try the very areas of
the planet where people are starving to death and fighting over
who rules plot X in area Y, and I’d say you’d be right on the
money. These people have no food, live in the worst possible
conditions imaginable, and here they are irresponsibly
reproducing like rabbits. What the hell can we do about
THEM? Not a damn thing. Suppose I actually take you
seriously and believe you really do believe in suicide and the
rest. Then, by extension, I would assume that all those
members of your Church believe in it also. Okay, here’s the
part I don’t get: you believe in suicide as the solution, yet
you’re all still alive. The way I see it, if you were REALLY
serious, you would pass on word of your grand solution, then
promptly kill yourself. But you’re still here, so you’re
hypocritical, just like all the people you say you’re against.
See you in Hell. Oops, I forgot, there IS no afterlife.
Seriously. Why would someone such as myself who believes
that this is the only life I get want to do myself in? The
illogic is astounding. Bye.

-Colin S. Reid’s evil win "Sodhead"

Dear Sodhead,

Yes, we are serious. Americans have been insulated from the
tremendous suffering their world-view has caused. In the very
near future, Americans will be getting a taste of their own
medicine, and they’ll be wishing they had followed our advice.
By the way, we never said anything about killing children or
each other. That’s homicide, not suicide.

Did you ever think that maybe slowing down the rate
at which we multiply might help? This is,
statistically speaking, happening in North America
right now.

The Church has only one commandment, and it is: THOU
SHALT NOT PROCREATE. This doesn’t help us much in
America, however, since ’’the average American consumes
roughly 100 times the resources of one tribeswoman in Kenya,
and about ten times as much as the average world citizen."
(Harvard zoologist E.O.Wilson)

Perhaps I am selfish, but I do not want to die until I
really HAVE to.

Yes, you are selfish, but at least you know it. There is hope.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to force people to
sterilize themselves after they have their second child.

The Church of Euthanasia is opposed to all INVOLUNTARY
methods of population reduction, including forced sterilization.

Where in the world is the highest population growth
rate? Try the very areas of the planet where people
are starving to death and fighting . . .

The reason the birth rates are so high in the so-called
"third-world" is because the industrial nations, particularly the
United States, have squeezed everything of value out of those
countries for hundreds of years. Birth rates are directly
related to life expectancy. When animals feel threatened, they
breed more, in an effort to increase their chances of survival.
What we can do about "THEM" is either (a) reduce the
amount of resources we consume, or (b) reduce our
population. The Church supports BOTH of these options. I
suggest you start feeling some PERSONAL
RESPONSIBILITY for the fact that "these people" have no
food and live in the worst conditions imaginable. You could
start by becoming a vegetarian, for example.

The way I see it, if you were REALLY serious, you
would pass on word of your grand solution, then
promptly kill yourself.

Just because I haven’t done it yet doesn’t mean I’m not
serious! Besides, what makes you think your SELF is so
important? Kill it! You’ll be much better off without it! The
sooner human beings start behaving like a SPECIES, the
sooner we can get beyond all these drastic solutions. Maybe
if enough people change their world-views, I won’t NEED to
kill myself!

Oops, I forgot, there IS no afterlife. Seriously.

Why would someone such as myself who believes
that this is the only life I get want to do myself in?

That is the root of the problem, right there. As long as you
believe you are alone in the universe and that death is final,
you will be part of the problem. Forget it! Let go of all that
rationalist, existential crap! Fuck Plato and Aristotle and
Hume and Kant and Freud and Francis Bacon! Go read the
Hopi propehecies! The earth is a LIVING BEING! Get down
on your knees! Pray to the Earth Mother! Pray to your dung!
Thou art that! Hallelujah!

CROSS-DRESSINGS FOR A CANNIBALIZED GOD

Raven Drake

No breeding. If I have to explain this
concept to another friend or relative I
will vomit. I have been attacked by my
breeding cousin. I have even been
attacked by my gay friends, individuals
who agree with the pillars of the church,
but not the commandment. The thought
of bringing another human life into
existence to feed from the earth terrifies
me. The condition and quality of life on this planet should
convince anyone that procreation is a bad idea. Pregnant
women should be racing to the abortion clinic, or even better,
to the pharmacy for an RU-486 pill. No such luck. Many
believe that it’s okay for some of us to have children, and that
America should impose birth regulations (mass sterilization,
forced contraception) on welfare and low-income families and
poverty-stricken nations. Wrong! Americans should reduce
their population, because they consume so much more than
everyone else! Why is this so difficult to understand?

When people try to defend their reasons for becoming parents,
the hypocrisy and absurdity are most interesting. Babies and
children are one of the largest consumer groups in America.
Diapers, formulas, toys, and children’s clothes flood the malls
and advertising. Children’s books and television programs
like Barney and Sesame Street are huge industries. Raising a
child in typical American-dream fashion requires a fortune in
resources, and the results are ghastly. The children become
competitive and greedy; as adults they are selfish, unhappy
workers trying to keep up with the Jones’s. Few enough
adults manage to climb out of the cesspool of western
consumer society. Children are unable to save themselves;
they must be protected from the American world-view and
guided into a balanced relationship with the earth.

Animals learn by example. They watch and assimilate the
behavior of their parents. People also learn by example.
They watch and assimilate the behavior of their televisions.
Each person who refuses to create more consumers sets an
alternative example. If the planet is going to survive, it needs
a chance to heal, to recover from the damage we have caused.
The most important action any one individual can take to help
save the planet is to stop breeding.

To Dress means 1) to clothe and adorn 2) to strip, whip, and
scold, hence to redress: to strike a balance, make equal; share
and share alike - (humans striking a balance with the earth;
men sharing duties, tasks and clothes with women, etc.)

" atonement " 3) to garnish food 4) to heal or bandage wounds
5) all of the above ...

The transfer of ”god-power7"soul-
substance" through devouring the body and
the blood of the god-victim is alive and well
in the Christian rite of transubstantiation.
Christians claim by this doctrine that the
bread and wine of the eucharist is entirely
transformed into Jesus’s flesh and blood.
The martyred Christ repeated the claim:
"Who so eateth my flesh and drinketh my
blood hath eternal life." Like the Greek god
Dionysus, god of wine, ecstacy and madness, Jesus had the
role of the dismembered divine son-lover who suffers death
and is resurrected. Dionysus, not unlike Jesus, was described
as "man-womanish" and called "the womanly one 1 ."

In order to be "born again," something he hysterically
longed for yet dreaded, the long-haired Jesus had to "get
inside" the earth mother’s unclean body via the torture cross
(both Bride-escort and phallic bridge to the heavens and the
underworld) which was constructed from the tree of the
Knowledge of Good and Evil, the ultimate symbol of the
transgendered trickster’s treacherous truth. Once eaten by
"Terra Mata 2 " or nailed to her tree, he was resurrected soon
after. Obviously the Crucifixion represented a kind of "male
menstruation" through ritual castration, a sort of
sadomasochistic "love-death orgy," or more specifically the
sacred hex necessarily put on all hermaphroditic or transexed
gods.

In regard to such nasty "habits" as eating and giving birth,
we can’t make too much of a distinction between the
reproductive and digestive systems of either "Terra Mata" or
the transgendered god because in this case "reproduction"
occurs through a kind of reincarnational "death into life"
magic. From tomb to womb and back again, it is more aptly
called "cannibalistic engulfment," and it brings to mind the
"Medusa-like" Hag Queen from India known as Kali, who
squats over her dead/dying lover Shiva and devours his phallus
and entrails with her Vagina Dentata 3 .

One of the major reasons why men often fear abortion so
much, the Vagina Dentata represents the end of male mono¬
gender mating and of course the end of the false Christian
trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Lacking vaginas,
many gods gave birth through their mouths, or from their
heads, thighs, ears, or armpits. Some even managed to
become pregnant by eating a rival’s penis. Men wanted to
preserve at any price the notion that a male could give birth
without the need of a woman. Since a man’s semen conveyed
his soul to a fetus, if the fetus were destroyed then surely the
man himself would suffer spiritual injury, hence he outlawed
abortion, not because it was dangerous to women, but because
it was thought dangerous to men. This is a symptom of the
famous "fetal identification syndrome," the masculine

identification with fetal tissue resulting from male dread
that men "live" by connecting themselves to women,
and to "Mother Earth" as forever fetal/fatal inhabitors,
possessors, and parasites.

"Terra Mata" however is a law unto herself! She
represents the planet’s ecosystem in perfect harmony,
and if she has to harm in order to harmonize - so be it!

She coordinates a web of relationships that at times may
be hostile, but they are also essentially complimentary.

Her cannibalized transgendered gods and aborted
children share the same destiny as all living creatures.

A voracious, unbiased womb-mouth feeding upon old
forms and giving life to new forms, she went to war
with and made love to all the "hunted hunters" and
"overpopulating consumers" - Those humans who
arrogantly take more than she can give. She is an
ecologically conscientious Cannibal Queen who not
unlike Nemesis, the Retributive Avenger, demands
reciprocal exchange between herself and those who
inhabit her body. She will maintain this life/death
balance at all costs!

^ahweh/Jehovah/Jesus originally meant Hovah/Hawwah -
"Mother of all Living." Her name implied cosmic laughter
and the incomprehensible speech of the sacred trickster, but
invoked the ultimate question/cause, "How?" implying there
is an undecodable method to her madness.

If you live in America and you haven't read Howard Zinn's
incredible book A People's History ofjthe United States, you
should do so immediately. He starts out with one of my all-
time favorite quotes , from Columbus's journal:

As soon as I arrived in the Indies, on the first Island which I
found, I took some of the natives by force in order that they
might learn and might give me information of whatever there
is in these parts.

Columbus didn't waste any time! Where's the damn GOLD?
No wonder he's such a big hero! I wonder what the natives
learned? Maybe how to lick boots , or kill themselves...

They . . . brought us parrots and balls of cotton and spears
and many other things, which they exchanged for the glass
beads and hawk’s bells. They willingly traded everything they
owned. . . . They were well-built, with good bodies and
handsome features. . . .They do not bear arms, and do not
know them, for I showed them a sword, they took it by the
edge and cut themselves out of ignorance. They have no iron.
Their spears are made of cane. . . . They would make fine
servants. . . . With fifty men we could subjugate them all and
make them do whatever we want.

What a MAN! He gets me all
excited when he talks like that!

Apparently the Spaniards got
tired of walking after a while ,

"and rode on the back of
Indians if they were in a
hurry ." They were also fond
"of knifing them by tens and twenties and of cutting slices off
them to test the sharpness of their blades."

Now, from his base on Haiti,
Columbus sent expedition after
expedition into the interior.
They found no gold fields, but
had to fill up the ships returning
to Spain with some kind of
dividend. In the year 1495,
they went on a great slave raid,
rounded up fifteen hundred
Arawak men, women and
children, put them in pens
guarded by Spaniards and dogs,
then picked the five hundred best specimens to load onto
ships. Of those five hundred, two hundred died on route.
The rest arrived alive in Spain and were put up for sale by the
archdeacon of the town, who reported that, although the slaves
were "naked as the day they were born," they showed "no
more embarrassment than animals." Columbus later wrote:
"Let us in the name of the Holy Trinity go on sending all the
slaves that can be sold."

In God we trust! How come I don't remember reading any of
this in grammar school ? I must have been sick that day...

But too many of the slaves died in captivity. And so
Columbus, desperate to pay back dividends to those who had
invested, had to make good on his promise to fill the ships
with gold. In the province of Cicao on Haiti, where he and
his men imagined huge gold fields to exist, they ordered all
persons fourteen years or older to collect a certain amount of
gold every three months. When they brought it, they were
given copper tokens to hang around their necks. Indians
found without a copper token had their hands cut off and bled
to death.

After all the natives were dead , African slaves were imported ,
but that's another story. Isn 't it great to be an American ?

Sleep Is Practice

Morning vigor
Sun rose, birds sung

Afternoon more serious
Work, love, and devour
Evening contemplative
Considerate, reflective, and wise

Night tired, sleep desire
Palliative escape into nothing
My last day will end in sleep
Quiet reward for a busy life

triple to 14 billion within the next century. Moreover , new Census Bureau projections
show that the U.S. population will likely increase by 50 percent in only 57 years — from
256 in 1992 to 383 million in 2050. Although the United States is home to only
5 percent of the world's population, we are responsible for using 23 percent of the world's
commercial energy, for producing more garbage than any country in the world, and for generating
about 21 percent of the world's total carbon dioxide emissions - the major contributing gas to
global warming.

In the seconds it takes you to read this sentence, 24 people will be
added to the Earth’s population.

Before you’ve finished this letter, that number will reach 1000. Within
an hour...11,000. By day’s end...260,000.

Before you go to bed two nights from now, the net growth in human
numbers will be enough to fill a city the size of San Francisco.
